Research progress on fermentation technology of Broussonetia papyrifera silage and its application in animal production
With the rapid development of China's livestock industry,the demand for protein feed has surged,underscoring the importance of developing and utilizing new types of feed.As a kind of high quality woody feed resource,Broussonetia papyrifera has the advantages of high yield,wide distribution,strong environmental adaptability,comprehensive nutrition and high protein content,and has been popularized and applied in many provinces and regions in across China.In order to make full use of the resources of Broussonetia papyrifera,the mixed silage of this plant can improve the palatability and nutrient utilization of the Broussonetia papyrifera feed,improve the growth performance of livestock and poultry,reduce the death rate,improve the intestinal microenvironment,and improve the meat quality.This paper summarizes the recent research progress on the evaluation of the nutritional value of Broussonetia papyrifera and its various processing methods for livestock and poultry feed,and comprehensively discusses the application of the Broussonetia papyrifera in animal breeding,in order to provide reference for the rational development and utilization of the Broussonetia papyrifera resources.
